The Summoning

Oh! The hopeless are adrift
Forever left behind
Searching for something more
Never to be found
Shadows of darkness
Creep across the land
Morbid sense of dread
Overwhelming the truth
(Chorus)
Looking for a savoir
Veil over the eyes
Seeking a redeemer
The serpent in disguise
Blinded by stupidity
Unleashing the brutality
Summoning a dark king
To subjugate us all
(Bridge)
Chanting his name
Bringing him forth
Shatter our world
Bring us to our knees
Worship at his alter
Blind to his lies
Unleashing his wrath
There’ll be no mercy
(Slow Part)
Incantations to summon him
A power they cannot control
The snake with many names
A reflection of their souls
What have they unleashed?
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!
Looking for a savior
Summoning the overlord
Darkness has taken control
Sweeping across the land
The ritual is complete
Our fate is in his hands
(Repeat Chorus)

Serpent King
06:32

Behold the being before us
Rising with cold, dead eyes
Forked and vile tongue
Spewing hatred and lies
Surrounded by his minions
Sea of mindless drones
Basking in the glory
Of his new found crown
(Chorus)
Rising to take his crown
From a pit of snakes
Behold the serpent king
Summoned from the deep
Rising to take control
Futile to resist
Taking his rightful place
On a throne of deceit
Ascending to his throne
Kingdom of lies
The masses brought him forth
They’ll reap what they sow
Basking in the glory
Of their serpent king
The chosen are rewarded
The rest will surely die
(Repeat Chorus)
(Ending x2)
Forked and vile tongue
Spewing hatred and lies
Surrounded by his minions
Staring with cold, dead eyes

Scorched Earth
04:12
|
|||
|
The armies of the serpent
Gathered and waiting
Upon his command
They will unleash hell
Unspeakable horror
From a dark force
Once a friend and ally
Now a deadly foe
Summoned by the mindless
Place upon his throne
Looking for a savior
Little did they know
Those who oppose him
Fleeing for their lives
Madness grips the land
Chaos has taken hold
(Chorus)
Burn it to the ground
No will survive the onslaught of the snake
Fleeing for their lives
Alas the innocent will be the first to die
Sweeping through the village
None shall be spared
Nothing shall endure
As they march on
The fields are ablaze
The buildings are rubble
Life will cease and desist
On this scorched earth
(Repeat Chorus)
(Ending)
Their defenses have fallen
The enemy has broken through
Fleeing for their lives
The innocent are now exiles
There is nothing left
To oppose the serpent king
Those left behind
Will suffer forever more

Spectre
08:23
|

|
What has happened to our home?
Blind to the obvious
It has been overthrown
A shadow of what it used to be
Clinging to a memory of faded glory
(Chorus)
Haunted by the past
History does not forget
Ghosts of the innocent
Trapped inside the mind
Specter of a lost nation
Opulence gives way to damnation
(Breakdown Part 1)
The serpent kings remains
Alone on his throne
His nation is forsaken
He will die alone
Clinging to his doctrine
His followers are gone
History will remember him
Hated and despised by all
(Breakdown Part 1)
A ghost of we used to be
Specter of freedom
Haunts the memory
A ghost of a failed nation
Specter of happiness, oh so fleeting
What has happened to our home?
Blind to the obvious
It has been overthrown
A shadow of what it used to be
Clinging to a memory of faded glory
(Repeat Chorus)
(Ending)
How did we let this come to pass?
All that we cherish shattered and gone
How did we let this slip away?
All of our memories, distant, fading, gone

Combining elements of death, black, and prog, with a solid dose of classic metal influences, Greybeard has created a sound that's all their own. Their live shows are high energy affairs that are best enjoyed near the front of the stage, whilst banging your head and giving way to your raw unabated emotion. Horns up mo*&^$fu@#$% ... more

017GD: Bastardös - Bastardös [re-release] (2017)
by GrimmDistribution
supported by 6 fans who also own “Session 3 - Serpent King”
I don’t know what’s in the water in South America, but this album is proof (once again) that whatever it is metabolizes as metal in the blood. Fast and aggressive thrash to break beer bottles to.

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.

SAT246: Victims Of Contagion - Lamentations Of The Flesh Bound (2019)
by Satanath Records
supported by 6 fans who also own “Session 3 - Serpent King”
Victims Of Contagion avoid the sterile sound of much modern tech death. The last track is an ambitious twelve minutes, but it manages to be the most interesting on the album. There’s doom, brutality and some great solos throughout. I never felt bored. The drumming is low profile but very proficient. Good stuff!
